I’m not in denial, I’m scared shitless and heartbroken. You’re probably right. That’s probably it for American democracy and any hope trans people have of finding safety and acceptance in American Society in our lifetimes. But it hasn’t happened yet.
We’ve already survived a Trump presidency once, we’ll do it again, life’s just going to suck more than it already has. I can’t tell you how to live your apocalypse, I intend to get back in shape, see what parts of my life can be further downsized, and focus on growing my social support network to include as many other women, people of color, and queer folks as I can befriend.
I understand. I just don’t want people to have false expectations that let them down in the end. I do think there is hope for our acceptance one day, but not for a long time.
We’re gonna suffer either way, but by accepting reality, we can fight for our own survival. Your life and existence is worth fighting for. What do you have to lose?

Eh, if we’re screwed either way, what’s the harm in a comforting lie?
